Recently we had the unexpected yet totally welcomed visit by our son and daughter-in-law and our grandson. The reason the occasion was so special is that it was the first time our grandson had visited us. It was a totally joyful occasion. We got to see things through a child's eyes again...and for an older person, that is truly exhilarating.....plus the fact of course, that we love him to bits!!
We visited the Wildlife Park, and took a ride on the little train, and saw the animals,...but the highlight of the visit for Jay (apart from playing with Papa's model trains) was a ride on the heritage steam locomotive. We found out that our grandson is passionate about trains. He is only 4 years old, but so full of enthusiasm for everything railway!! Luckily Kamloops is a railway hub and so one can see, hear and feel the trains all around town.
All in all it was a perfect weekend....exhausting but wonderful nonetheless. After they headed home, DH and I looked at each other and said "I'd forgotten how active little children can be!!" ....and I'm sure our offspring are thinking..."Get used to it Mom and Dad...there will be more to come!!"
We welcome it with open arms!!
Slainte!
